Benefits of Organics

“Most people agree that eating organic vegetables is better for our health. Organic vegetables are not grown with the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides, making them safer for us to ingest. Grown in soils that are rich in humus, natural minerals and salts, organic vegetables supply us with many more nutrients than conventionally produced crops."

British Journal of Nutritionadds to the evidence that organic production can boost key nutrients in foods. The study finds that organic dairy and meat contain about 50 percent more omega-3 fatty acids. The increase is the result of animals foraging on grasses rich in omega-3s, which then end up in dairy and meats. "Omega-3s are linked to reductions in cardiovascular disease, improved neurological development and function, and better immune function,"
British Journal of Nutritionfound that organic crops — ranging from carrots and broccoli to apples and blueberries — have substantially higher concentrations of a range of antioxidants and other potentially beneficial compounds. That review included data from more than 300 studies. For instance, organic crops had about 50 percent more anthocyanins and flavonols compared with conventional crops. Anthocyanins are compounds that give fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries, their blue, purple and red hues.
